What is up with the notes and references section? The notes seem like references and so do the references. Please explain. Gug01 (talk) 21:33, 5 January 2015 (UTC) Gug 01[reply]
No problem, overall this article is quite compellingly written and highly comprehensive, but there are some minor issues listed below. I would appreciate it if you would leave comments and marks next to each point made so I can keep track., thanks.
his work disputed between the rival schools of Sămănătorul and Poporanism Please clarify the meaning of this clause.
It means that his work was disputed between the rival schools of Sămănătorul and Poporanism: that thy both claim him as their own. Dahn (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, you might want to consider adding a "was"/"is" to that clause then.
Committed to social and cultural activism in Transylvania Activism for what? Also "committed" seems less than neutral as it endorses his activism.
No, I beg to differ. Committed means that he was dedicated to accomplishing his goals, whatever they were: using "committed to a life of crime" doesn't mean I endorse said crimes. His activism was of many kinds, as the article goes on to specify: social, cultural, political, eugenical aso. Dahn (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
with a break during World War I that eventually took him deep into Ukraine What did he do that is important in Ukraine?
He served with the Romanian Army in circumstances that are complicated as to be impossible to detail in the lede without confusing the reader to death. Dahn (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be possible to change it to, with a break during World War I that eventually took him deep into Ukraine while seriving with the Romanian Army? or some variant? Winner 42Talk to me!18:21, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
1919, and would live there for much of the remainder of his life -> 1919, where he lived for most of the remainder of his life (Not set on this particular change, feel free to clarify the wording in another way)
After the war, he involved himself in both the political and cultural life of Greater Romania, being voted into the Romanian Academy, and assuming the office of Senate vice president under the National Renaissance Front dictatorship. Run on sentence with poor grammar.
Literary historians describe this at the period of his literary debut, which was a collaboration with Unirea. Two issues here, who are these historians and the sentence's meaning is somewhat ambiguous. For example, when is the period and who/what is Unirea?
All of those who were consulted: Straje and Opriș, independently, in this case:if you look through the rest of the paragrpah, you will note how the clause is detailed and further claims in with the two sources differ are attributed. Dahn (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agârbiceanu withdrew from politics Considering that he seems to continue involvement in politics after this, could you clarify what is meant?
Well he didn't know at the time that the communists would reemploy him, so yes, he withdrew for a while, then returned without having planned it. Dahn (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Under communism
then returning -> before returning
these found his reputation as a writer valuable for their own interests, and preferred -> they found his reputation as a writer valuable for their own interests, and they preferred
Sorry, that would be ungrammatical. The subject is "these"; using "they" would imply that the subject of the sentence has changed. Dahn (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence beginning with Granted the Order of Labor runs on
and was -> and he was
Literary contribution
This section appears balanced, but due to my personal lack of subject knowledge and the difficulty of analyzing this article's sources, I will be requesting an informal 2nd opinion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Romania to look at the neutrality of this section
Ideology and style
What is a Transylvanian nawab? Many readers will likely be unfamiliar with the term.
and always a marginal among -> and he was always a marginal among
Major works
gold panning, her many children killed -> gold panning with many of her children killed
